Hey all:

I'm consulting with a museum that will be exhibiting a Vietnam era POW diary written in blood. Got any thoughts on conserving such an object? Light levels? Total amount of exposure? Temp and RH levels and fluctuation -- within the usual limits, or something different? Curating blood wasn't covered in collections class. When used as an ink, is it fugitive?

Thanks,

Dan
